Song history: This
classic Poison cover was unveiled on New Year's Eve 2008 as part of FGC's
"Rock Star Celebrity Death Match." Looking for a "rock"
artist/tune to match up with Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" which
was already in our repertoire (see Ice Picks Edition
21), we tried some Guns 'N' Roses and Aerosmith, and even toyed with
Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, but nothing was sounding quite right. Luckily,
I came to the rescue with my suggestion for Poison's "Unskinny Bop,"
a song that I simply worshipped as an unruly young teen and whose
video I would watch over and over on MTV (this was back in the olden
days when MTV actually played music videos!). It was pure joy to cover
this tune, and while I'm usually kind of a grumpy pain in the ass in the
rehearsal room, I would light up whenever we went over this song in preparation
for the New Year's show. Props to Jordan for rocking Bret Michael's lead
vocals on this tune!

History:
It's fairly routine for Adam (left) to make himself look silly with some
kind of hair or clothing alteration, as seen in this photo with his slicked-down
side-parted nerdy do. However, it's rather unlike Jordan to follow suit,
so capturing this moment on camera was priceless. And ladies, yes, these
two studly gentlemen are single!!
